I feel better informed regarding the different types of paint. For example, watercolor, acrylic, and oil. Also, I had never before heard of giclée – very interesting. I thoroughly enjoyed this seminar! It was informative and entertaining – thank you!

Learned a tremendous amount. Was inspired to think of new ways to frame different items besides art. This was a superbly organized and well-delivered presentation.

Great info and great learning! I really appreciated all the learning points and learning about the basics to art (although it was far more than basic in a good way.) Enjoyed the casual format and opportunities to interact as well.
